Calidad de vida en el cuidador informal de ancianos dependientes

Authors: Villanueva Lumbreras, Amaya;

Calidad de vida en el cuidador informal de ancianos dependientes

Abstract

Este trabajo explora, a través de la metodología cualitativa, las experiencias vitales de los cuidadores informales de personas ancianas dependientes. Para responder al objetivo de nuestro estudio se planteó un estudio etnográfico. Se determinó como ámbito del estudio un centro de día para ancianos dependientes. La recogida de datos se completó con entrevistas a los cuidadores familiares de los usuarios del centro y profesionales involucrados en el cuidado así como la observación participante. La principal aportación de este trabajo es la identificación de un perfil emergente de cuidador informal que no es el protagonista principal en la provisión de cuidados a la persona dependiente. Éste cuidador actúa en coordinación con los servicios sociales y sanitarios, además de con otros miembros de su propia familia, favoreciendo cada vez más un modelo de cuidados combinado. Este modelo se caracteriza en que el cuidado formal y el cuidado informal se unen de manera más equitativa para cuidar al dependiente. No obstante, el sistema de cobertura social todavía no cubre las necesidades totales del dependiente y de los familiares, por lo que, a pesar de que los familiares están concienciados con la idea de recibir ayuda por parte de recursos externos, la realidad es que no siempre acceden a ellos, viéndose desbordados al intentar mantener el cuidado del dependiente.

This research explores, through qualitative methodology, the vital experiences of informal caregivers of dependent elderly people. An ethnographic study has been designed to respond to the research objective. The field of study was a day center for dependent elderly. We completed data collection with interviews with family caregivers of day center users and professionals involved in the care, as well as participant observation. The main contribution of this work is the identification of an emerging informal caregiver profile that is not the main protagonist in the provision of care to the dependent person. This caregiver acts in coordination with social and health services, as well as with other members of his own family, giving rise to a combined care model. The characteristic of this model is that formal and informal care are combined more equitably to care for the dependent. However, the social system still does not cover all the needs of the dependent and his family. Therefore, although family members are aware of the idea of receiving help from external resources, the reality is that they do not always access them, being overwhelmed when trying to maintain the care of the dependent.
